Is it illegal to run proxy sites?
No in general, one of the only circumstances it could become illegal is if you monitor your server logs and see people visiting inappropriate content. If you decide to monitor your traffic you must report any illegal activity that you see and ultimately your server may be seized by law enforcement in their investigations. The simply solution to this is either to not monitor your logs or turn off your server logging.
Can I use adsense on my web proxy?
Yes you can, as long as your website follows the adsense terms and conditions. You are only allowed to place it on your homepage. You are not allowed to place adsense on “proxied” pages because you do not own the content and you will be banned from the adsense program if you do this.
Will a proxy website work on shared hosting?
I would never recommend that proxy webmasters use anything less than a dedicated server. Some web hosts may initially support your proxy website but because of the vast amount of resources that proxy scripts consume it isnt fair to the other users of the server. If you are draining all the server resources then inevitably your web host will have to cut you off. You should thoroughly read through the terms and conditions of any new host you plan to use. It may seem like a large cost of the proxy business but if you can break even on a dedicated server then you are well on your way to success.
Do proxy sites make money?
Yes! In my time I have earnt thousands of dollars from proxy websites. The market is extremely saturated right now but if you are creative and you can offer something unique, its always possible to grab a bit of the action.
